Kelly Rowland's controversial "exit" from The "TODAY" Show spurred conversations online and on television circles because of her rather "diva" behaviour.
Outspoken TV personality, Bethenny Frankel blasts the former "Destiny' Child" member, pointing out her "diva" attitude.
Bethenny Frankel Slams Kelly Rowland's 'Diva' Attitude
Taking to TikTok, former RHONYC star Bethenny Frankel voiced out her opinions about Kelly Rowland after her reported walk-out from the "TODAY" show following a dressing room conundrum. (via Page Six)
"I've co-hosted with Hoda [Kotb] and I've arrived there and the makeup area that you touch up in is often a drop cloth, like, a black drop off," she revealed in a now-deleted TikTok video. "And then your dressing room is the size of a closet and you're trying to fit all your people in the clown car. And you know what? You're so excited. You're so gracious."
She also doubled down her thoughts, pointing out that Rowland will be co-hosting on the "TODAY" show, which is "an institution in entertainment, a news organization that is not about fancy dressing rooms."
Although Frankel addressed that the makeup area on the show is "completely communal" and the food is not great, for Rowland, it should be "an honor" to host the show with esteemed broadcaster Hoda Kotb.
"That was not the moment for diva expectations," she concluded.
Watch her outburst below.
First of all Bethenny Frankel, you’re NOT Kelly Rowland so of course you’d eat the crumbs off the ground if they asked you to,

Kelly Rowland Abruptly Leaves 'Today' Show
Page Six sources revealed that Kelly Rowland "dramatically walked out" of the "Today" show after seeing that her dressing room was not "up to snuff."
She's expected to fill in with Jenna Bush Hager with famed broadcaster Hoda Kotb on "Today with Hoda & Jenna." However, she dropped at the last minute because of her dressing room, leaving a scrambling Hoda Kotb worried and alone.
"Kelly and her team were not happy. They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving [Kotb] without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour," a source divulged.
Apparently, Rowland's team wanted to be in the green room upstairs because "they didn't like the one she was in," but another diva was in the house - Jennifer Lopez!
"They're not nice. It's the oldest building. There are major space limitations, [it's] not glamorous. It's not fresh flowers, and candles and gourmet food. It's basically [a] white box," the source furthered.
Thankfully, singer Rita Ora was there to save the show after Rowland left.
As of this writing, neither TODAY nor Kelly Rowland has addressed the said controversy.
